National Security Strategic Investment Fund: Huntingdon
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, how much funding from the National Security and Strategic Investment Fund will go to companies in Huntingdon constituency.
Answered by Kanishka Narayan
The National Security Strategic Investment Fund (NSSIF) is the UK Government’s corporate venture arm for dual-use technologies. NSSIF invests in technology start-ups to deliver future capabilities for National Security and Defence (NS&D), and funds R&D work programmes with companies.
The programme was established for the purpose of delivering national security and defence objectives, and so funding does not have a geographic mandate. NSSIF is always looking to identify promising UK-based companies that align to its mission, though cannot speculate on the specific locations of future funding recipients.
